our volunteers are trained

Let's Talk Science, a pioneer in science outreach in Canada, has led the way in developing appropriate training for graduate and undergraduate students and professionals in the fields of science, engineering, technology, and math, who wish to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with children.

Science with Impact^®
Our innovative workshop-based outreach training — Science with Impact^® — prepares volunteers with the strategies and skills to deliver fun, effective, hands-on activities to children and youth.

The workshop (available in English and French) focuses on:

• Educational learning theory
• Teaching strategies and learning styles
• Designing hands-on learning activities
• How to make outreach experiences relevant and fun

Each participant receives a workbook with exercises and background information on the learning theories and teaching strategies covered in the workshop. With an appendix full of tips on creating effective presentations and choosing age-appropriate content, the workbook is a valuable reference for science, engineering, technology, and math outreach.

"Very useful. I knew nothing about youth education prior to this workshop — now I feel I could jump right into it. Very well done. The participant's guide is invaluable". - Engineer

Facilitated Workshops
Trained facilitators from Let's Talk Science will deliver a three-hour workshop for up to 25 participants. For more information, please contact us.

"Well done — an excellently designed program given by a very competent presenter." - Teacher and Let's Talk Science Alum
